Newbie on Volume Managers

I am fairly new to Sun, but have worked with AIX and Linux for the past 7 years=2E I was wondering what type of volume manger came with Solaris 9? I have heard of solaris volume manager and Veritas volume manger but I don't know the costs associated with the products=2E Would someone please elaborate on this subject?

Solaris Volume Manager (formerly known as DiskSuite) comes with
Solaris 9, and is free to use. VxVM is a 3rd party piece of software
which you can purchase from veritas. If you are looking for a price, I
believe veritas has started bundling a few of their storage products
together and renamed it Veritas Storage Foundation.
